BLACKPINK's Rosé and pop icon Bruno Mars have maintained their chart dominance with their hit duet "APT.," which continues to ride high on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart for three consecutive weeks.

According to Billboard's latest update on the 12th, "APT." slid two spots from the previous week, landing at No. 15 on the main singles chart, the Hot 100. The track originally debuted at No. 8, marking the highest entry for a K-pop female artist and has continued to showcase strong staying power on the chart.

Additionally, "APT." has maintained its top position on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Global (excluding U.S.) charts for three straight weeks.

The song's global impact was underscored by its triumph over strong contenders like Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' own track "Die With A Smile" and Billie Eilish's "Birds Of A Feather," securing its No. 1 spot on these global charts.

"APT." quickly gained traction with its catchy "Apartment, apartment~" hook and captivating chorus, leading it to debut at No. 1 on both the Global 200 and Global (excluding U.S.) charts. The two charts, launched in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales data collected from over 200 regions worldwide.

During the most recent charting period, "APT." recorded a 22% drop in streams, amounting to 162.2 million plays, according to Billboard. Digital song sales, including downloads, also saw a decline of 21% from the previous week, tallying 14,000 units sold.

With "APT." solidifying its status as one of this year's top K-pop hits, attention is turning to whether Rosé and Bruno Mars will appear at the upcoming 2024 MAMA Awards, set to be held on November 22-23 at Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan.

Regarding their potential attendance, an Mnet representative stated that the possibility is currently "under review."
